Hello,
a friend of mine recently acquired this sword, knowing it's most probably a composite piece. We think the hilt might be possibly 17th century, the blade most probably 19th century. What puzzles us - there are remains of gilding on the blade (as well as on the hilt). So we are wondering why would anyone in the 19th century gild such a blade. Total sword length: 112 cm Blade length: 91 cm Looking forward to your comments and suggestions. Thank you, Matus |
